In the year since Osama bin Laden's death, it has been a comforting thought for Westerners to say that he failed. And that's certainly true in terms of al-Qaeda, whose scorched-earth jihad tactics alienated Muslims along with everyone else. But in terms of bin Laden's broader goal of moving the Islamic world away from Western influence, he has done better than we might like to think.
Egypt is a case in point: This has been a year of mostly nonviolent democratic revolution. But it has brought to power some Salafist and Muslim Brotherhood groups that share common theological roots with bin Laden. And the al-Qaeda goal of driving the "apostate," pro-American President Hosni Mubarak from power has been achieved.

text: Hard to tell what that pipe is, but it may well be a vent for the floor drain. It could also be a waste stack from upper floors. Don't see how you can get rid of it. You might be able to move it, but that will involve chopping up some concrete. Trying to connect a shower drain to the floor drain will also involve chipping out some cement. It would NOT be proper to just have shower water run on that floor and into the floor drain. The floor is not considered a waterproof barrier, the seam at the wall is not watertight, and you have no curb. You need to put a preformed pan, or a membrane, on top of the concrete. If the floor is not sloped into the drain, you need to accomplish that with a preslope mud base.

DATE CHANGED: NBA All-Star Dikembe Mutombo will be the keynote speaker for the North Fulton Chamber's Eggs & Enterprise breakfast on Wednesday, June 27, at in Alpharetta.
Note that the meeitng, sponsored by Frazier & Deeter LLC, is being held on a Thursday instead of the usual Tuesday schedule.
Mutombo, honored with USA Weekend Magazine's "Most Caring Athlete Award," and from FOXSports.com as the most generous athlete in the world, has long been dedicated to improving the health, education and quality of life for the people in his birthplace, the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Through the Dikembe Mutombo Foundation, created in Atlanta in 1997, Mutombo is attempting to eradicate many childhood diseases that have virtually disappeared in developed countries while those diseases are still life threatening to children in the Congo every day.
He was a Houston Rockets and Atlanta Hawks center. Having retired from the Houston Rockets, Mutombo now spends the off-season traveling throughout Africa on behalf of the NBA, performing at free basketball clinics for as many as 2,000 children per day. Giving back has always been a trademark of Mutombo ever since he entered the NBA in 1991. A former spokesman for CARE, the international relief agency, Mutombo visited the Somali refugee camps in Northern Kenya in 1993 and traveled with NBA Commissioner David Stern and Georgetown colleagues Patrick Ewing and Alonzo Mourning to Cape Town and Johannesburg.
As an Atlanta Hawk, Mutombo was actively involved with Strong STARTS (Schools Taking Action to Reach Troubled Students). He also served as a spokesman for the Atlanta Hawks Team Up program, often visiting children at local hospitals and held a basketball clinic with on-court drills for the Georgia Special Olympic athletes.
Mutombo was acknowledged by President George W. Bush during the State of the Union Address on Jan 23, 2007, and was inducted into the World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame on June 20, 2007. He earned bachelor's degrees in Linguistics and Diplomacy from Georgetown, and speaks English, French, Spanish, Portuguese along with five African dialects. Mutombo and his wife, Rose, have six children.
The Chamber's June 28 meeting, which begins at 7:30am, is open to members and non-members alike. Reservations can be made online or by calling 770-993-8806, ext. 306.

February 9, 2013
Democrats continue to criticize Ken Cuccinelli, the Republican nominee for governor, for not resigning from his job as attorney general. Nearly every past attorney general has done after deciding to run for governor.
"You simply cannot do the full-time job of attorney general and run full-time as a gubernatorial candidate," said Del. David Toscano (D-57th District). "There are too many conflicts involved. You have to raise money, and it's a tremendous job being attorney general. It takes a lot of time."
Most recently, Gov. Bob McDonnell resigned as attorney general in 2009 so he could make running for governor his full-time job.
In a letter sent to Cuccinelli on Thursday about stepping down, a lawyer and former Democratic adviser asked for emails, travel records and schedules to prove that Cuccinelli's campaigning isn't affecting his job as the state's top lawyer.
Michael Signer writes: "The reason for this tradition is simple: Virginian's elect their attorney's general to serve the public, not to run for governor."
"He needs to step down now, authorize someone else to take on the full-time job of attorney general and then he can campaign as much as he wants without hurting the best interest of Virginians," Toscano said.
Cuccinelli is reportedly defending his decision to stay in office, saying whether he stays or goes, Democrats will find ways to criticize him either way.
It's expected to be a tight race between Cucinelli and Democrat Terry McAuliffe, but Virginian's are waiting to see whether Lt. Governor Bill Bolling will step in as an independent.

Professional staff Long Service Leave objectives
(Entitlements below based on Full-time 1.0 fraction appointment)
- To exhaust the current year's Long Service Leave accrual:
- nine (9) calendar days per year for 10-14 years' service
- fifteen (15) calendar days for those with service of 15 years or greater
- To reduce any accruals from previous years to achieve a situation where a staff member's Long Service Leave balance is no more than three (3) months at any time. Staff will generally utilise their further annual accrual within the year it accrues with the exception of the initial entitlement after 10 years service.
- Where the plan commits to an extended absence, there may be flexibility for staff to accrue up to a maximum of 5 years worth of annual accrual (excluding the 3 months referred to in point two above).
- In recognition of existing excessive accruals leave plans will aim to achieve a reduction of accruals each year, in accordance with the following schedule:
(a) A maximum of 4 and a half months long service leave accrual by year end 2013; and
(b) A maximum of 3 months long service leave accrual by year end 2016.
Long Service Leave (LSL) Plan - further information
1. Staff members who are eligible will have an entitlement to LSL as follows (based on full-time 1.0 FTE service):
(i) 10 years service = 3 months LSL
(ii) 10 to 15 years service = further LSL at 9 calendar days per annum
(iii) 15 + years service = further LSL at 15 calendar days per annum
2. LSL is recorded in calendar days, not working days like other leave types, ie 5 working days = 7 calendar days. This means that every working day is equivalent to 1.4 calendar days.
3. Staff who apply for LSL at full pay simply need to enter the LSL date range when making a leave booking in HR Online. The system will calculate the correct number of calendar days that will be deducted. However, staff wishing to book LSL at half pay or double pay need to complete a paper-based leave form available from this link .
A staff member with sixteen years' service and five months' LSL accrued at the start of the year, could, in negotiation with their manager, plan to take the following:
|Plan to take
|35 calendar days of LSL = 15 calendar days plus 20 calendar days of accrued leave
|35 calendar days of LSL = 15 calendar days plus 20 calendar days of accrued leave
|35 calendar days of LSL = 15 calendar days plus 20 calendar days of accrued leave
NOTE: The Leave Plan should address the utilisation of this leave over a three year period.
Examples - LSL Bookings / LSL Balances
Bill is full-time and books one week's LSL at full pay from Monday to Friday. His LSL balance would reduce by 7 calendar days. (5 working days x 1.4 = 7 calendar days)
Mary is full-time and books LSL at double pay every Monday for one month, that is she takes 4 working days off. Her LSL balance will reduce by 11.2 calendar days. (4 working days x 2 (double pay) x 1.4 = 11.2 calendar days)
Jo is part-time and works Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday every week. She books LSL at full pay for 3 months. Assuming that there are 12 weeks in the 3 month period, Jo's LSL balance would reduce by 50.4 calendar days. (3 working days x 12 weeks x 1.4 = 50.44 calendar days)
Jose works full-time and wants to take LSL at half-pay for 6 months. Assuming he takes 130 working days of leave, Jose's LSL balance would be reduced by 91 calendar days. (130 working days x 1.4 calendar days x 1/2 (half pay) = 91 calendar days)
Another Way to Reduce Leave Accruals
If operational needs permit staff may choose to utilise Annual Leave or Long Service Leave prior to entering into an agreed part-time arrangement or LWOP. Such arrangements might include the taking of one day's Annual Leave or Long Service Leave per week for a period of "x" weeks. The minimum amount of Annual Leave that may be taken is a half-day and the minimum for Long Service Leave is one day (booked at the rate of 7/5 of a day because of the accrual rate).

Lovely walks into Dartmouth (get the bus back if you dont like walking uphill!). Stoke Fleming is a nice village with a great pub (The Green Dragon) selling good food and great real ale - try Dartmoor Gaol Ale. You can access the pub without braving the narrow road via an alley at the back of the village green. There is no dog walk on site but contrary to a previous review there is a footpath on the opposite side of the road down to the village green. There are also field footpaths which can be accessed from a alley by the garage next door. Site team were welcoming and able to give good advice on local walks. Slapton sands and Torcross are great for walks and Beesands has a great fish resturant on the front which also does take away fish and chips.

CUMMING, Ga. (June 1, 2011)—Starting today, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta will begin treating patients at its neighborhood location at The Avenue Forsyth in Cumming, Ga. The new, 20,000-square-foot space is Children's northernmost location and provides outpatient services, including immediate care, rehabilitation, sports medicine, orthotics and prosthetics, X-ray and laboratory services. The location is also home to pediatric specialists for orthopaedics, hand and upper extremity, general surgery, allergy and asthma, otolaryngology (ENT) and ophthalmology.
With 118,000 pediatric residents and a projected growth rate double that of Atlanta, expansion into Forsyth County was a natural fit for Children's, which is already one of the largest pediatric providers in the United States. Children's Healthcare of Forsyth is one of 17 neighborhood locations in the Children's System, which also includes three hospitals—Children's at Egleston, Children's at Hughes Spalding and Children's at Scottish Rite—and the Marcus Autism Center. Located off Peachtree Parkway, the new location will also serve families in Cherokee, Dawson, Gwinnett, Hall and Lumpkin counties.
"Whether you're the parent of a high school athlete or a toddler with the flu, you'll find staff at Children's Healthcare of Forsyth with years of extra training and age-based treatments to treat the full range of pediatric health issues," said Linda Cole, vice president of ambulatory services at Children's and Forsyth County resident who led the implementation of the new location. "In choosing The Avenue Forsyth for this location, our goal was to provide parents in Forsyth County and surrounding areas immediate access to advanced pediatric care. The enthusiastic welcome we've received has only increased our excitement about calling Forsyth County home."
From physicians and technologists who have years of pediatric training to child-sized blood pressure cuffs and new investments like the STARscanner to treat young patients with plagiocephaly (or flattening of the head), everything in the facility was designed to help children from infancy through age 21. With extended hours and 15 exam rooms in its Immediate Care Center, Children's Healthcare of Forsyth was designed to ensure shorter wait times. The space also includes a rock climbing wall and several specialized gyms, including a sensory gym with a pediatric zip line and swings.
Children's, which was named by FORTUNE magazine as one of America's 100 Best Companies to Work For, is the 10th largest employer in the state of Georgia. Children's Healthcare of Forsyth has welcomed 40 staff members.
Children's Healthcare of Forsyth is located at 410 Peachtree Parkway in Suite 300 of The Avenue Forsyth. Walk-in patients are welcome from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekends. For more information, visit www.choa.org/forsyth or call 404-785-3100.

SAN ANGELO, Texas — A 72-year-old member of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will be released from prison Wednesday after serving about 13 months in prison.
Wendell Loy Nielsen was convicted of three counts of bigamy and sentenced to 10 years in March 2012.
He is scheduled to be released from Robertson Unit in Abilene but has been serving time at the C.T. Terrell Unit in Rosharon, about 30 miles south of Houston.
"The board considers a lot of factors in making a decision," said Harry Battson, a public information officer for the Texas Board of Pardons and Parole. "It ranges from past criminal history to the way they conduct themselves while they're in prison."
Committee members look at statements submitted, whether the inmate has any affiliation with an organized crime group and age — both at the time of the crime and at the time they're eligible for parole.
The board comprises seven members, Battson said, in addition to 12 parole commissioners. In cases such as Nielsen's, one board member and two commissioners form a panel to make the decision.
As soon as they reach two votes, either for or against parole, the decision is made.
Nielsen was one of a dozen men charged in the aftermath of a 2008 raid on the FLDS' YFZ Ranch near Eldorado. He was sentenced to three 10-year sentences, to run concurrently, and began his sentence March 27, 2012, according to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
He was up for parole review April 25, TDCJ spokesman Jason Clark said, and was granted parole by the Texas Board of Pardons and Parole.
He is scheduled to be released Wednesday from Roberston Unit in Abilene, according to the TDCJ website.
Clark said the warden at Terrell, Roger Pawelek, wouldn't comment on Nielsen's behavior at the unit and reiterated the decision to release offenders comes from the Texas board.
Terrell houses about 1,500 inmates, including several hundred in a trusty work camp, Clark said.
In this instance, the decision to grant parole was made with a 2-0 vote March 4, Battson said.
Committee members said Nielsen's lack of a violent criminal history, paired with the fact that this was his only incarceration, factored into his release.
They also determined he was a low-risk, low-severity offender, Battson said.
A lead voter conducts interviews, submits a summary that's put into the inmate's file and casts a vote, Battson said. The file is passed on to the next voter until a decision is reached. If the first two people agree, the vote doesn't go on to a third committee member.

I agree completely, and to add to that, would love to see Terry & Pierce come out with Wilcox after the first 5 to replace Lee, Green and KG.
Have KG lead a lock-down defensive openning 5 minutes with our most athletic players. Then Pierce and Terry come out for the most explosive offensive bench force in the NBA

Council on Underserved Communities (CUC)
The Council on Underserved Communities (CUC) provides SBA with input, advice and recommendations on strategies to help strengthen competiveness and sustainability for small businesses in underserved communities. These strategies are aimed at increasing entrepreneurship and technical assistance, creating outreach and training strategies, and educating underserved communities about SBA programs and services.
The CUC focuses on communities and populations that traditionally have faced barriers in accessing credit, capital and the other tools they need to start and grow businesses. These communities include inner cities and rural areas and may include populations such as women, minorities, veterans, tribal groups and others.
The CUC is part of the SBA's ongoing efforts to expand its reach into underserved communities. While the nation's economic recovery is moving forward, that recovery has been uneven, particularly for socially, economically and geographically disadvantaged small business owners. To help SBA better address the challenges facing small business owners in underserved communities, the CUC will meet regularly and advise SBA on ways to increase access to capital and promote sustainability, growth, and job creation.
Contact us with suggestions or for information about CUC events at email@example.com

Today, Radio One owns 52 radio stations in major markets across the country, making the company the largest black-owned radio chain in the nation.

Holt: West Fargo woman breaks free from weightFARGO – It wasn't until Steph Rinehart faced her fears that she was able to lose the extra 170 pounds she'd been carrying for 20 years.
By: Meredith Holt, INFORUM
FARGO – It wasn't until Steph Rinehart faced her fears that she was able to lose the extra 170 pounds she'd been carrying for 20 years.
Once she hit rock bottom, she felt ready to overcome her past and create a new life for herself.
"It took me a long time, but I did it," the 44-year-old West Fargo woman says with a smile.
The winter after their father died, Steph and her older sister started a low-carb eating plan. They quit drinking, cut out pop and limited junk food and candy.
"My philosophy that I adopted from day one was, 'I can either have this, or nothing at all,' and I would always choose something over nothing," she says.
Instead of regular soda, she drinks Pepsi Zero Max or Diet Sunkist. For sweets, she'd rather have grapes or strawberries. She eats peppers like they're apples.
"Whenever someone's thinking weight loss, they're thinking 'diet,' a temporary change to get a permanent result. You have to permanently change how you look at food and how you look at exercise, and the temporary of that is getting used to it," she says.
Steph dropped 30 pounds in the first 45 days.
"It worked, and I didn't think it would," she says.
She built on her initial success with "Walk Away the Pounds" DVDs she borrowed from a co-worker. Then she joined a gym, where she hid on the cardio machines in heavy clothes.
"I kept doing that for a year. I got myself from 307 down to about 230 pounds," she says.
At that point, she didn't know where to go next, but she'd been watching a trainer work with people of all ages, sizes and shapes.
"The scariest thing I ever did was walk up to him and ask for help," she says.
If she hadn't, she wouldn't have met one of the two men she calls her "angels."
Steph trained with Josh Lambert for about two and a half years at two different gyms. When Josh moved out of state, she paired up with his friend Joe Ketterling, now of Joe Fitness in Fargo.
"I wouldn't be here without them. They're my angels. I did the work, but they engineered it," she says.
Josh helped her go from 225 pounds down to 145 and from a size 22 down to an 8.
"Some people make an imprint in your life. He made a permanent imprint in my life," she says.
Steph has been training with Joe for three years now and has no plans of quitting.
"Trainers push you to work as hard as you can. I like having someone to coach me and keep me honest," she says.
She paid for her personal training sessions by consigning her old clothes.
At her heaviest, she wore 26s, 28s and 4XLs. Now, depending on brand and style, she's in sizes 0 to 6 and smalls.
"I think I had one pair of jeans in 20 years of being overweight. Now I have probably 20 pairs," she says.
It took time for Steph to adjust to her new appearance.
"Looking at my face, I didn't see the thin person. I still saw the fat girl," she says.
Throughout her transformation, she learned that it's OK to be thin and that it's OK to like how she looks.
"I started to feel like a woman again and not a monster," she says.
When she plateaued or got stuck in a rut, Steph switched up her routine.
In the past six months, she stopped doing hours of cardio and started focusing on resistance, interval and circuit training.
"I wasn't doing enough weight lifting. I was overdoing it. I was in the gym for so long every day, and it wasn't really doing me any good," she says.
Breaking free of her weight, literally and figuratively, has changed Steph's outlook on life.
"There's no such thing as can or can't; there's will or won't. I will never go back to being morbidly obese or overweight, and I won't live in the past," she says.
Steph's advice
- If you want something bad enough and work hard enough for it, you're going to get it.
- Don't worry about what other people think or say; it's your life.
- Get to the heart of why you were the way you were.
- Look in the mirror, and like the person you see – flaws and all.
Do you have a weight-loss story to tell? Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Forum reporter Meredith Holt has lost 105 pounds since May 2010. She will share stories of her weight-loss journey in her column, which runs the first and third Friday of each month in SheSays. Readers can reach her at (701) 241-5590.

At William Creek have a drink at the legendary bush pub or at the Dingo Cafe' with its memorabilia and old photos of the area. This once important railway town is also known for having Australia's first solar powered telephone. We follow in the footsteps of explorer John McDouall Stuart and see outback fauna and flora.

Painted Desert Tour
A one day 4WD tour to the spectacular breakaway country of the Painted Desert (Arckaringa Hills).The Painted Desert is an area of spectacular colourful hills that Mother Nature has taken 80 million years to create. Sediments originally laid down by the ancient inland sea have eroded away over time. This erosion, combined with the leaching of minerals from the soil, create this magical area whose colours change during the day, making it a photographer's delight
To get there, Desert Diversity Tours leaves the world-famous Opal mining town of Coober Pedy, past the last of the underground homes and through the Dingo Fence (the worlds longest structure). We travel over an area that was once the ancient inland sea bed, but today is commonly known as the Moon Plains.
This area is a very important marine-fossil bed that has become of great interest to palaeontologists since the recent discovery, by the operators of Desert Diversity Tours, of the partial backbone of a 5-6 meter long Ichthyosaur (ancient marine reptile) which swam in the ancient sea 120 million years ago.
See some of the vast cattle stations of the Outback, bush walk through the Painted Desert, experience the beauty of Outback landscapes and waterholes. Learn about the Great Artesian Basin, the early explorers and the pastoral industry. Morning/afternoon tea & lunch are supplied.

Exclusive: Iran hijacked US drone, says Iranian engineer (Video)
In an exclusive interview, an engineer working to unlock the secrets of the captured RQ-170 Sentinel says they exploited a known vulnerability and tricked the US drone into landing in Iran.
Istanbul, Turkey
Iran guided the CIA's "lost" stealth drone to an intact landing inside hostile territory by exploiting a navigational weakness long-known to the US military, according to an Iranian engineer now working on the captured drone's systems inside Iran.Skip to next paragraph
In Pictures Iran's military might
Subscribe Today to the Monitor
Iranian electronic warfare specialists were able to cut off communications links of the American bat-wing RQ-170 Sentinel, says the engineer, who works for one of many Iranian military and civilian teams currently trying to unravel the drone's stealth and intelligence secrets, and who could not be named for his safety.
Using knowledge gleaned from previous downed American drones and a technique proudly claimed by Iranian commanders in September, the Iranian specialists then reconfigured the drone's GPS coordinates to make it land in Iran at what the drone thought was its actual home base in Afghanistan.
"The GPS navigation is the weakest point," the Iranian engineer told the Monitor, giving the most detailed description yet published of Iran's "electronic ambush" of the highly classified US drone. "By putting noise [jamming] on the communications, you force the bird into autopilot. This is where the bird loses its brain."
The "spoofing" technique that the Iranians used – which took into account precise landing altitudes, as well as latitudinal and longitudinal data – made the drone "land on its own where we wanted it to, without having to crack the remote-control signals and communications" from the US control center, says the engineer.
The revelations about Iran's apparent electronic prowess come as the US, Israel, and some European nations appear to be engaged in an ever-widening covert war with Iran, which has seen assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists, explosions at Iran's missile and industrial facilities, and the Stuxnet computer virus that set back Iran's nuclear program.
Now this engineer's account of how Iran took over one of America's most sophisticated drones suggests Tehran has found a way to hit back. The techniques were developed from reverse-engineering several less sophisticated American drones captured or shot down in recent years, the engineer says, and by taking advantage of weak, easily manipulated GPS signals, which calculate location and speed from multiple satellites.
Western military experts and a number of published papers on GPS spoofing indicate that the scenario described by the Iranian engineer is plausible.

I have been working at mts logistics full-time for more than a year
Pros – Flexibility, friendly people, social events
Cons – Career Opportunities, no benefits, don't recognize your work
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
I worked at mts logistics full-time
Pros – Ok job. Pay is good. Good bonus because you actually worked your ass off.
Cons – Preferential treatment for females, and Turkish people. No room for growth. Only way to get recognized (promotion, salary increase) for hard work is if you are Turkish or you are a female.
No recognition for hardworking people. People who actually dont deserve get equal or more bonus then a person who worked their ass off get.....where's the incentive to keep working hard?
Advice to Senior Management – Stop being so ethnocentric. Recognize hard working people and reward them with promotion/salary increases.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
